Letter 79

Fun fact: Cory Booker has a book club! (I’m sure the pun is very, very intentional on their part.) I just learned this today when his team sent out an email about it. The fact that they once read the exquisite Michelle Alexander book, TheNewJimCrow:MassIncarcerationintheAgeofColorblindness, shows that they mean business and are not going to shy away from harsh realities. I love it. They host discussion sessions about the books and I think it’s just the neatest concept for a Senator and really gives us insight into Booker’s priorities and passions.
